The Ballad of Laverne and Captain Flint ('Heartworn Highways' version)
Intro - E MajorE F# minorF#m E MajorE F# minorF#m
E MajorE F# minorF#m
Here comes Martha runnin' down the pier
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Lord it looks like Captain Flint is here
E MajorE F# minorF#m
You get the bow, I get the stern
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Lord would you look at that Laverne
E MajorE B7B7
Flint's got shrimp from the deep blue sea.
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m E MajorE F# minorF#m
and buckets of fish for you and me
Chorus
E MajorE E6E6 (shuffle)
But Old Flint's boat is fine and she's called the Miss-Inclined
B7B7 E MajorE F# minorF#m
And there's no home port painted on her stern
E MajorE E6E6 (shuffle)
And they say she's like a ghost up and down that Texas coast
B7B7 E MajorE F# minorF#m E MajorE F# minorF#m
But you saw home didn't you Laverne?
E MajorE F# minorF#m
Daddy says Flint is a weird old bird
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
And what's more I have heard
E MajorE F# minorF#m
That his nets are charmed by a woman who knew
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
How to work that Louisiana voo-doo
E MajorE B7B7
Laverne get away from that boat you hear
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m E MajorE F# minorF#m
your mama don't want you hangin' round here
Chorus
